2004.04.09 @ 02:20:49 The end of the world as we know it

It's almost that day again. The 3rd day before the first sunday after the Paschal Full Moon for the year. More commonly known as Good Friday. This day can be very confusing, even for Christians. The cruicifiction of Jesus - "one of the most obscene means of torture known to man" is how they just described it on the radio show that I'm listening to. But what is the day for, why do we set it aside, why is it marked on the calendar?

What is the day for, is it for celebration and joy, or a day of sadness and remorse. Or is it simply a day of reflection, and looking forward to easter? Or perhaps it's just a Friday that means it's almost the weekend. I personally think it's a day of reflection, as the disciples were reflecting upon Jesus life as things finally fit together, as well as sadness because we realized *our* shortcomings resulted in this torture. What are your thoughts on the matter?

In a short aside, went to organ stop pizza today as Jason & Danielle hadn't been. It was good times, although very patriotic songs given the older crowd there. Not as fun as sometimes. Tomorrow is meeting day at work, I have 3 of them scheduled which is very unuusal for me. After work is worship practice then good friday tenebrae service - probably one of my favorite church services all year long.
